Massopu

I guess this does not require much explanation:). But still I want to introduce about massopu to my friends who never came across this authentic karnataka recipe. Its the recipe with lots of greens and little dal cooked together and ground to paste. As though it goes well with rice its best suited with Ragi Mudde.

Original recipe suggest 5 different greens are used. but it tastes goodeven with 2-3 different greens.So you can try with whatever is available with you.
So lets start:

Put these greens, dal, chopped onion and tomato, garlic,green chillies, cumin and coriander in a cooker container.
Pressure cook them with required amount of water for 2-3 whistles.

Once they cool down ground them to puree,keep it aside.
In Sambar pot take oil and add mustard seeds.once they start spluttering add curry leaves and grounded paste. add required amont of water and salt. bring it to boil. simmer for 5-6 mins.
Healthy Masoppu is ready to serve with Ragi mudde.

About This Blog

We Indians prepare verity of food. Kofthas, Kurmas, Parathas, Dosas, etc., are few of them. That's why, even people from western countries fond of our food.

I got inspired by my gurus, my mom and mom-in-law. Basically my mom is from north karnataka and mom-in-law from south canara. One day my mom told, it was difficult to learn new recipes during those days. Hence they used to preserve the recipes, which they come to know from their fellow beings.

Adige Mane Ruchi is a product of this idea. This blog may help one who love to cook and one who want make their kids, spouse, parents/in-laws happy. Hope this help new beys and one who loves to try new recipes.
